Star Wars Living: Ewok Home & Jawa Crawlers

I've always wanted to live in a Star Wars universe.

Ewok Habitat
Suspended spherical housing module.

It's 2.9 meters in diameter and is made to be suspended from a tree. "There is a double bed, counter, table and bench seats as well as ample storage lockers. The spheres are wired for 110 volt AC and equipped with lights and outlets." Four attachment points on the top and four on the bottom securely carry the weight of the sphere and its contents. The spheres are made of laminated wood strips over laminated wood frames with the outside surface covered with clear fiberglass. Not unlike a fine yacht.

Ever wanted to ride around in a Jawa Crawler?

via Boing Boing):
The JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank is an open-ended custom-made, Star-Wars-oid personal tank that carries up to five people at 40mph over sand. It comes with a giant 400w stereo and a camera for recording the reactions of the people you drive past. Only 20 grand! (Usually ships in 1-2 months
) You can buy these puppies on Amazon. As one of the reviews said, "The $14.99-$19.99 shipping on this item is a fantastic deal! I wish all 1100lb items were so economical to ship. The extra 200lbs in packing really keep the item mint."

(via Jalopnik)
The JL421 Badonkadonk, aka “The Donk” is a “land vehicle and battle tank” created by outer-limits design firm, NAO Design for purposes unknown to Burning Man non-attendees. Donks are made to order, at $20,000 a pop. Buyers also get a Donk T-shirt and a training session. Tickets to see naked, orange people eat Top Ramen and talk chakras in the desert are sold separately.

Now, if I can just get myself some construction plans for that underground house on Tatooine, I'll be all set to set-up shop out in the desert near Black Rock. I could then drive either my land speeder or Jawa Crawler to and from Burning Man each year.
